Why Sugar Is Bad

Although sugar is seen as the bad guy in today’s food, we as humans need sugar as much as any other food or in some cases drugs to live happy and healthy lives. From two different viewpoints Robin Konie and Sarah Richards, express their viewpoints on the controversial subject of sugar. No matter what, humans need sugar in their daily diets. To be healthy your cells require sugar as a nutrient. “Our cell health is critical to overall health. If the cells are nourished we have the right foundation for a nourished body” (Konie Pg. 2B). For some reason when humans over consume a product such as sugar, we as a society automatically see it as bad and take no accountability for our own actions and or choices. On page 2A from the article “Is sugar bad? Why I say NO!” by Robin Konie we are reminded of the natural sugars that are essential to our daily diets, like sugars found in fruits, dairy, vegetables, and other essential foods we need to consume daily.
That’s like saying all prescription drugs are bad for you and we should stop taking them because a few people overdose or become addicted to the drugs. No that is completely unreasonable, drugs and sugar are much alike for the fact that they can be addictive to the body and to a person’s mental state, when misused or not correctly consumed. Do people have legitimate reasons for not liking sugar? Or is it just a dislike based upon some other professionals dietary statistics? People like Robin Konie believe in the right kind of sugars, as she says “I believe that food should not be full of ingredients I can’t pronounce”
